I started hunting since you started making this series and I'm sure hundreds to thousands of other people have as well. When you made that video showing you trading a lite switch for old collections I immediately started seeing tons of Lite switches up for trade in my community.

i agree....love/hate relationship with gamestop for me too

[@CAPCOM784]

I agree! Gamestop will try and sale you a "brand new" game that has been opened by one of their employees. I got really upset last black friday when I ordered Crackdown 3 for like $12.00 but when I picked it up guess what it was a opened new copy! Luckily 2 or 3 days later Target marked it down around that same price so I finally got me a brand new sealed copy of Crackdown 3. I don't order online from Gamestop anymore and I always ask do you have this game "brand new" sealed when I purchase any new games from the store.

[@mistersociety2975]

Even if it hasn't been played by an employee, brand new means sealed to me. They can always get a display case or reprint one. It's a terrible practice.

[@z0mb3rry]

I know many have commented on getting banned for trading in so many of the same game at GameStop but I wanted to post this to clarify. The general consensus is you can trade in up to 4 copies of the same game in a rolling 30-day window. There's also a dollar limit on trades that can get you flagged as well. I had a 90-day ban last year for trading in one-too-many copies of wii sports :( Another thing to be aware of, very often on the last friday of the month they'll have a stealth bump in values. They will not advertise the bump in trade values so you have to check to be sure but that's probably why Rick had that decrease on Black Ops II the day before - that stealth bump window is only good from Friday to Sunday usually.

[@richardwilson1583]

Not sure if any one has mentioned it but 1. Gamestop has a limit of the same game getting traded in 4 times in a rolling 30 days. After that you'd get a traded ban. 2. If you trade games in and pre order certain games (usually the big ones coming out) you'll get a trade boost of 10% extra. Usually I'll put $5 toward the game, take the rest in trade credit on my card and then keep doing that each time I bring in some trades. Sometimes I'll keep the game, sometimes I'll move the credit toward something else I want.

[@retrorick]

i didnt know about the limit of games until someone else mentioned it...thank for looking out!

Well I have no bad feelings towards Gamestop. My wife and I visit our local Gamestops at least one every 2 to 3 weeks. We also visit other local game stores too, but for me GameStop is sorta nostalgic. Been a gamer and collector since the early 80s. So after Funcoland, KB toys and Hills department stores all shutdown in the mid to late 90s, Gamestop was the place to go for me. Good times and memories.

So I told him that I wanted my money back and that I'd just go pick it up at Best Buy that was across the street.

[@davidpallotti4502]

You decided to take the game bro. They didn't force you. You could have gone somewhere else. If that happens it means its the very last copy available and GS has to open 1 copy to use as the display case for the wall. They always tell you, or they should, that thats what it was used for. If they don't then thats not great, but thats the policy. So, you saw it and decided to take it anyways, so don't complain about it. Free will brother.

[@ZackMuffinMan]

I used to like Gamestop more but now I just get everything online. I normally only went there for new games, but online is more convenient. Will go sometimes to get a few cheap games though when they have a preowned deal. Also, I used to get games at GameStop that said trade hold on them all the time. They always forget to take off the sticker when no one comes to claim the game when they reserved it.

So I grabbed one game from the box, Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball, and figured that it wouldn't be worth more than a couple bucks and it's worth like $15-20 which isn't too bad. So now I want to sell off all of my older stuff that I don't want anymore and get some newer games and systems and get into reselling because it looks really fun.

Problem in the UK with this is that all main charities put their electronics / games on eBay auctions and never on the shelves. Unless you want 400 copies of FIFA 12 you’re basically never going to find anything of worth. That said, I can’t stop watching your content. It’s fantastic. Also, also, IIRC that Hulk game is amazing. Made by the same devs who made the Prototype series and those games were nuts too.

[@deathwizard1996]

Right now GameStop is doing 5 dollars a month for pro membership

[@retrorick]

i know..i have missed out on it a couple times...let me know it expiring Gamestop!

[@deathwizard1996]

Retro Rick it starts every month

[@deathwizard1996]

Retro Rick GameStop has a lot of good deals with the GameStop app since they have the point system on how much you spend like for pro membership they get 20 points for every dollar spent and they have gift cards for up to 50 dollars

[@deathwizard1996]

Also do you often collect the game magazine of game informer in the mail or by digital because I sometimes see people sell those in apps

[@patriciaorebaugh1228]

What people don't realize but the reality of flipping is being able to unload what you bought and it doesn't happen over night, you could sit on a game for months before you sell it and I imagine it'll be for less than expected

[@admc01]

Three steps to getting free games from GameStop Step one: get a gun Step Two: go to GameStop and pull the gun out to the workers Step Three: Walk out with as many games as you can carry

[@mikeczelusniak2448]

I like game stop you can get some good credit towards newer stuff you want. Also the shirts are pretty cool!!!

[@Berry-mj9mp]

I’m going to try going to gamestop cause it seems good

[@retrorick]

do it my friend!

[@DerekLed]

Man it's been awhile, ever since I beat 31 I get heartburn sometimes. I have it now. Help meeee. Great episode.

[@calebkayyy1270]

I enjoy gamestop because of their trade credit. For certain games its way better than other game stores. Ive also gotten a large part of my vita collection during a b2g2 sale. Im glad you saw my message last time about the black ops ii

[@tedlogan5628]

That's the way to do it. Glad your area still has good titles for cheap. Not the case here so i have to live vicariously through your channel...lol.

[@retrorick]

ah man, that suck Ted...wishing you luck out there!

[@Lorymurariu]

My boyfriend and I have been going game hunting - he found a Wii U at a Salvation Army with Mario & Sonic Olympic Games 2014, Wii Sports, Sports Resort AND bonus disc Mario Kart 8 (plus a Mario wiimote). Kept some of the goodies and will resell the rest! Thanks for your tips!

[@Lorymurariu]

Forgot to mention all of it was $25 😮

[@retrorick]

oh wow...what a find! Glad the tips have been helping!

[@retrorick]

@@Lorymurariu DANGGGGG, love it!

[@thisnamedosntmatter2u352]

Absolutely love this series. Recently found ricks channel a few weeks ago and watched all these videos. After watching these videos I was checking our local Facebook market place every day. I found a guy selling a few Xbox one games and 2 of them caught my eye. I noticed he also had Hell Blade senduas sacrifice which goes for around £18 on EBay. He said £5 a game but he ended up saying 3 games for £10. I got Assassins creed unity, Skyrim elder scrolls v deluxe edition and hell blade for £10. I then sold hell blade for £17 on EBay. So pretty much a £7 profit, and 2 new games. Thank you very much Rick, this really works.

[@MarcusLT95]

If only Game and Cex in the UK worked this way...

[@joelsinn9302]

I'm new to the channel, but If you havent mentioned it, I always wait until Gamestop is doing an extra 30% trade in towards a preorder promotion before I trade. Then you just cancel the preorder if you do not want the game, or move it to a game you want.

[@111matt]

now, all u have to do is find a wii sports resort in a mario kart case and life is complete

[@swupetey05]

I don’t have a problem with GameStop. Just do the same type of thing you showed in this video. Crazy how the trade in values are so high on certain games. Just got around $150ish in the past two days by trading in my duplicate Wii titles plus a couple Black Op games. I knew about the Wii games but wouldn’t have thought about the black Ops without you video. Had actually seen them at a thrift last week, saw your video and picked them up.

[@GenerationalGamer]

Split/Second is great. You've got to play it instead of flipping it. :). You have inspired me. I might have to go out and start searching for games outside of the Internet. I am going to have to buy the Transformers game. I have been waiting for a G1 game for 30 years. (That looks like G2 but close enough.)

[@retrorick]

ill try it out! That is awesome...hope you find some great stuff !

[@CAPCOM784]

Yep Split/Second is a great arcade racing game. Love the graphics and music in it reminds me alot of Burnout?

[@retrorick]

@@CAPCOM784 i love Burnout!

[@RetroSho]

Definitely can be done. I've been doing this since before Rick started his challenge and I've gotten a ton of games for free and in most cases I profit massively. Free Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, Wii U, over 200 NES games, you name it. And it has actually has paid for my Famicom Disk System collection as well which is nearing completion. I got my Switch for free doing what Rick is doing, but you need to be careful on trading in too many doubles. GameStop will actually put a temp block on your trade ins if you do that too often. Keep doing what you're doing Rick! Spread the word!

[@rhino6431]

For Gamestop I'd have to say that I liked it when online buying wasn't popularized and preferred. When I was younger the place I would go was Gamestop. I got some of my childhood games there. However, in this day and age I now find all my games on ebay. I go to gamestop all the time still to see what special deals they have. It's a 40 minute drive so it isn't all the time.

[@retrorick]

very true...nothing like going into the store and shopping around

[@anthonygiambra3411]

I bought a couple of rare games this past week at a local thrift store and sold them and turned it into a sega master system with 4 games, 2 controllers, and the light gun

[@retrorick]

nice! I am still on the lookout for a master system!

[@aidetund6263]

Gamestop is nice, especially with the savings you can get, but the thing that annoys me the most is when some games say game only online and they come in the mail with their cover art, and then a game that isn't labeled as "game only" comes loose. I can never tell what will come loose and what will come in a case with its art and manual. Other than that I love gamestop for their savings

[@retrorick]

for sure...Gamestop gets too much hate!

[@Emceemur]

I didn’t pay for any of my current gen systems because of Gamestop trades. They constantly overpay. I looked at that Hulk game on a recent episode of mine. The Hulk games from that gen always sell quick for some reason. They seem kinda fun I guess. 👍

[@retrorick]

take advantage while we can! and while they exist

[@zglass920]

Rick I went to Cashland after the last $10 video. I found all the crash bandicoot games except the first one AND spyros riptos rage. You the best !!

[@retrorick]

holy crap! What a find...keep it up!

[@zglass920]

Retro Rick did I mention they was $2 EACH just found robo tip 2 for the ps1 today aswell !!

[@bediahjonesberg]

The new GameStop app update is weak! They took off the trade values and also I can’t find out how to check in anymore! Keep up the good work Rick! Big inspiration for my channel!

[@retrorick]

I KNOW!!! What in the world...why would they do that? Surely its an error

[@8BitGlitch79]

So you are the reason I sometimes gets games from gamestop in the mail without cases ;) just kidding. I figured this is why some games at gamestop don't have cases, cause it's like why would someone not have the case. I love gamestop I don't have any issues with them. I love their b2g2 sales I mean I got a ton of PS3 and Xbox360 games basically for 2-4 bucks a piece and I get PS4 and Xbox one games for 5-10 each all the time using those sales. Glad you went back and got that Split/second title I mentioned last video.

[@retrorick]

hahaha yup...its me! Thanks for that recommendation my friend!

[@Kingsbeak]

I dont really like gamestop, but there is this place called video game world where they basically buy and sell anything video games from any console. The best part is their promise where they will have better trade in deals from any other store

[@drawwithbrayden1899]

I am a young collector on a small budget are there any tips and stores I should stop at with cheap price.

[@TheOdd4sOut]

Try going to some Goodwill's, flea markets and garage/yard sales. I been doing that for about 2 years and I already have a decent collection

[@drawwithbrayden1899]

Thank you for the tip. I appreciate it ☺️.

[@jacobcanaday4739]

Gamestop is a love/hate relationship. I enjoy talking to some of the employees but the "new" games not being sealed is annoying. Once bought a "new" Bravely Default on the 3ds at Gamestop. Went home to play it, and found a saved file of over 96 hours on it.
